Subject: [*] budgetBoss 1.1 - home budgeting aid
budgetBoss(TM) 1.1
Copr. 1993, 1999 Bruce A. Pokras - All rights reserved worldwide
Requires: HyperCard(R) Player 2.3 or higher (probably already on your Mac
whether you know it or not), or any version of Hyper-Stack Player; a Mac
having a 68030 processor or faster is preferred
Changes in this version: Eliminated a bug which would prevent registered
users from importing more than ten Expense Records.
Take charge of your finances with budgetBoss!
BudgetBoss gives users the information they need to plan ahead for those
pay periods where bills seem to be all due at once. BudgetBoss takes
information about your pay schedule and your expenses, and generates a list
of your expenses for the whole year, grouped and totaled by pay period. In
this way, users are warned well in advance of those instances where lots of
bills are due in a short amount of time. The list also lets you see in
advance those rare pay periods where less bills than usual are due.
If you find that some bills are grouped too closely to payday to allow you
to pay them by mail on time, budgetBoss' "Mailing Delay" feature can
eliminate that problem. You set the Mailing Delay to the number of days you
need to comfortably pay by mail. This adjusts the grouping of expenses so
that those that are due too close to payday are grouped for payment with
the previous pay period.
The power of BudgetBoss is that it allows you to save the list that it
generates in a form that is specially formatted to be opened as a "live"
spreadsheet by a spreadsheet program. The spreadsheet uses a formula to add
up your expenses for each pay period, so you can insert last-minute
expenses and the total will instantly update. Alternatively, you may save
the list of expenses as a text file which can be opened and printed by any
word processing program.

modification dates are exactly the same). It can reveal, open, move and delete
files and folders that it has indexed. It can use Sherlock to find items by name
from it's Name field (right now, only "name is, on local volumes - but not CDs"
searches can be performed). Requires OS 8.5+.

Subject: [*] Creepin' Critter Clocks 1.1.1 - educational game
Creepin' Critter(TM) Clocks 1.1.1
Requires HyperCard Player 2.2 or later (probably already on your Mac
whether you know it or not), or any version of Hyper-Stack Player.
Changes in this version: For Mac OS 9 users running CCC in the black &
white "evaluation mode", a button will appear on the title screen which
allows them to turn off the transition effects that CCC displays as the
user navigates from screen-to-screen. In some models of Mac running OS 9,
these transition effects occur EXTREMELY slowly. The button, which toggles
between "Turn Transitions On" and "Turn Transitions Off", allows those OS 9
users who experience the problem to use CCC without having to deal with
ultra-slow navigation. OS 9 does not cause any problems in CCC's full color
"licensed mode."
Welcome to Creepin' Critter Clocks, the fun way for kids to practice their
time-telling skills! Creepin' Critter Clocks is an arcade-style learning
game that is both challenging and fun. Kids swat bugs (the "Creepin'
Critters") or pop bubbles that correspond to the correct answer to a
time-telling problem.
Points are earned, in true arcade game fashion, for correct answers. The
amount of time available to answer a problem can be adjusted to suit the
skill level of the child. The arcade-style scoring provides an incentive
for decreasing the amount of time, since lower time settings increase the
possible scores.
There are four types of time-telling practice in Creepin' Critter Clocks:
1) Analog-to-Digital, 2) Digital-to-Analog, 3) Words-to-Analog, and 4)
Words-to-Digital.
Each type of time-telling practice can be performed by swatting bugs or by
popping bubbles. The Analog-to-Digital and Words-to-Digital games are only
available to registered users.
Upon registering, you will receive a password which will unlock the
following additional features: 1) built-in color; 2) the ability to repeat
just the incorrectly answered problems; 3) arcade-style "Top Ten" lists for
each type of time-telling game; 4) Teaching Mode where the hour can be held
constant while the minutes are varied (or vice versa); and 5) the Report
feature which records the results of each problem the student attempts in a
text file for later review by their parent or teacher.
Shareware $10/Mac. $50 for a Site license for an entire school.

Subject: [*] Creepin' Critter Math Lite - educational game
Creepin' Critter(TM) Math Lite 1.0
Copr. 1993-96, 1999 Bruce A. Pokras - All rights reserved worldwide
Requires HyperCard Player 2.2 or later (probably already on your Mac
whether you know it or not), or any version of Hyper-Stack Player.
CCM Lite is a "light" version of the regular, shareware Creepin'
Critter(TM) Math educational game. Creepin' Critter Math Lite has enabled
all the bonus features of the licensed regular version of CCM, but contains
just the "Beginner" math module (in both the Creepin' Critter and Bubble
Poppin' formats) instead of the four modules of the regular version. The
bonus features include, among other things, a full color interface, Top Ten
lists, and the ability to repeat those problems that were answered
incorrectly.
The Creepin' Critter format is a multiple-choice challenge in which
children choose the answer to a question by swatting one of four bugs which
are creeping up a wall towards "picture frames" which contain four possible
answers. If the incorrect bug is swatted, the other three continue creeping
up the wall giving the child further chances to swat the correct bug. If
the correct bug is not swatted by the time one of the bugs crawls
underneath one of the picture frames, then the correct answer flashes
several times and another problem is presented. After finishing a game, the
problems which were answered incorrectly or not at all may be repeated.
The distance the bugs creep before reaching the picture frames may be
decreased, giving the child less time to swat the correct bug, but
increasing the possible score. An arcade-style "Top Ten List" shows the
child's highest scores, and so gives an incentive to improve.
For children who do not like swatting bugs, an alternative Bubble Poppin'
game is included. As the name implies, this alternative requires popping
the correct bubble among four bubbles which are rising from a bubble bath
towards a steam enshrouded ceiling. Floating in the steam are four possible
answers to the problem.
The regular, shareware version of CCM is available for download in
"evaluation mode," and may be upgraded to the fully enabled version by the
entry of a password after paying the license fee.
CCM Lite is Freeware
(Regular CCM is Shareware ($10/Mac; $50 Site License))

Subject: [*] GestLab 1.0.3 - The ultimate Gestalt Manager tool
GestLab is the Gestalt.Appl successor, a tool that allows you to check all
Gestalt selectors posted by Mac OS or by any other piece of software. It is
also a database including information about your system environment. You see
not only some technical infos but also understandable interpretation of most
codes (in English).
There are too many new features in GestLab to be listed here (a mini doc is
included). You have to know that GestLab user interface needs at least
Appearance Manager 1.0.1 (version found in Mac OS 8.1 and next). You can
install the Appearance extensions in Mac OS 7.1 and next (these extensions
are available at www.apple.com). Without Appearance Manager, you will only
allowed to save your configuration, not to examine it.
So, if your machine has at least Mac OS 8.1, use GestLab. With older
systems, continue to use Gestalt.Appl.
GestLab main goal is to maintain the more exhaustive Gestalt selector
database. When using it, if your configuration is displaying info not yet in
the database (what it is very easy to realize, this info is displayed in
red), don't hesitate to send it to me: I'll analyse it and update the
database for the next release. Your collaboration is essential in this
domain.
As Rene G. A. Ros said in his Gestalt Selectors List, GestLab is
the new 'official' Gestalt hunters tool! Version 1.0.3 is mainly a
maintenance release and its database contains 789 selectors.

minimum (version incluse dans Mac OS 8.1 et suivantes). Vous pouvez
installer les extensions de l'Appearance Manager a partir de Mac OS 7.1
(elles sont disponibles sur le site www.apple.com). Sans l'Appearance
Manager, vous pourrez simplement enregistrer votre configuration, pas
l'examiner.
Donc, si vous avez Mac OS 8.1, utilisez GestLab. Avec des systemes plus
anciens, continuez a utiliser Gestalt.Appl.
Le but principal de GestLab est de maintenir une base de selecteurs Gestalt
la plus exhaustive possible. Si, lors de son utilisation, votre
configuration affiche des informations qui n'y sont pas encore (ce qui est
evident, puisque ces infos sont affichees en rouge), n'hesitez surtout pas a
me l'envoyer : je l'analyserai et mettrai la base a jour pour la version
suivante. Votre collaboration est essentielle dans ce domaine.
Comme l'a dit Rene G. A. Ros dans sa Gestalt Selectors List, GestLab est le
nouvel outil de reference des chasseurs Gestalt. La version 1.0.3 est
essentiellement une version de maintenance et sa base contient 789
sÄlecteurs.

Language Toolkit Reader is an interactive multimedia program for language
learning. It features the integrated use of text, illustrations, sound,
QuickTime Movies, vocabulary, exercises based on text and sound, and notes on
grammar. You use the program to access 'lessons' which are prepared
separately.
A teacher can prepare multimedia lessons for any target language by using the
companion program 'Language Toolkit Writer'. An associated program 'Verbs &
Nouns' gives access to additional support in the way of dictionaries, and
offers the opportunity for further practice of inflection and translation at
the level of single words.

All is done to provide a quick, mouseless access to any of your files
without preliminary manual configuration. It is the perfect complement of

The most Finder-like FTP client for the MacOS has just got better.
NetFinder was the first FTP client to use the Finder hierarchy listing
paradigm. With an intuitive user interface that everyone is familiar
with, users can begin to use this program in no time at all.
NetFinder v1.x started the FTP client war, by being the first FTP client to:
- support resume downloading after you quit or crash.
- add drag and drop support for all operations including moving files from
one folder to another, server to server coping as well as the standard
uploading, downloading and trashing...
- inline filename editing, just like the Finder.
- integrated BBEdit support for transparent file editing.
- support for setting permissions on files and folders (even recursively).
The Finder-like listing window supports viewing by name, date, size, and
permissions. Other features include automatic binhex, macbinary and text
translation for uploads and downloads. Supports many ftp servers.
Has speech support. Internet Config savvy. Supports bookmark lists.
What's New in 2.0.4:
v2.0.4 removes the "beta expired" message that appears in v2.0.3.
v2.0.3 adds support for Finder Progress Icons and WebSTAR FTP servers.
Improved VMS server support, BBEdit support and remote server file
copying support. Various parts of the user interface have been improved,
including smoother drawing of listings and the GUI should be even
more robust. Various bug fixes also included.

Subject: [*] ScannerProbePlus 2.0
ScannerProbePlus helps overcome some of the difficulties associated
with the use of Apple(r) Scanners. Applications which perform scanning chores
using scanners, such as those made by Apple Computer(r), rely on a driver
which is installed into the memory of the computer at boot time. Sometimes
this does not happen and, as a result, applications cannot communicate
with the Scanner due to the missing driver. The net result is that you
cannot perform any scanning until the driver is in place and it has
successfully communicated with the Scanner. ScannerProbePlus is only
meant to work with scanners that are connected via a SCSI bus - not USB.

Hi,
We have known the great products from Aladdin for a while on the
Macintosh side, mostly from the Stuffit family. However, they are
trying to push the stuffit standard on the PC side. They have a new
product called DropZip and also Unzip, the same combo we have on the
Macintosh side. With Windows 98, this is drag and drop. For those
using Virtual PC or having to cope with people using PCs or even
having to work on a real PC, this could be helpful. If you are
already registered on the Mac side, you can get DropZip for a mere
10$. Check their web site for more details. You can try the product
for free and register later.

Subject: Sony DCR-TRV510 and the Macinotsh
Gentleones,
I recently bought a Sony DCR-TRV510 (a Digital8 camcorder with still picture RAM) and am disappointed, though not surprised, to see that their software, PictureGear Lite, only runs on PeeCees. PictureGear is the software that is used to "suck" still pictures out of the camera's RAM into the computer via a serial connection (a standard 232 connection). The camera has FireWire but only for moving video.
A call to Sony got a knowledgeable, though perhaps misinformed, support person. He informed me that "the only way to get the stills out of the camera is with a PeeCee or a Windows 95/98 shell on your Mac." So far, no surprises.
Could I have their information so that I could write my own software? No way. Hell would freeze over first. Still not surprising.
Then the surprise. I asked him about Mac software and he told me that "it's a copyright issue (huh?) and it's tied up in legal. Macintosh (sic) won't provide the information we need to give to our engineering staff. That's Macintosh for you." Expressing incredulity got me nowhere--his brainwashing was complete. He countered that Sony "knows" there are third-party solutions out there, but Sony can't tell me anything about them, or, like me, can't find them either. (Funny thing is, Epson has made it work... rather well, actually. And the Macintosh info that anybody would need to know to write it is in Inside Macintosh volumes I-IV! Have they visited developer.apple.com?!)
Bottom line: Has anybody successfully written transfer software or know of the mysterious third-party source for this software? Or have the details of the transfer protocol?
Many thanks for any help!

multiple phones in a house to the same line...the kind that has one input
jack on one side and two output jacks on the other side) to split the line
